The Queer Parent is a practical, affirming guide for LGBTQ+ parents, parents-to-be, and the people who want to support them well. It covers routes to parenthood, family conversations, school and community situations, and the everyday realities mainstream parenting books often leave out.

Why Read It

Read it when you want a parenting book that is useful, specific, and grounded in real queer family experiences instead of treating LGBTQ+ parenthood as an afterthought.
